In reply to: [Luminescence Lite] Black lines in navigationHi,
Up until the other day there were no black lines between the navigation items, thus my desire to remove them. I switched from HMS Testimonials to Strong Testimonials because the first has apparently been abandoned. Other than an image replacement an an h5 style I have done nothing to change the testimonial plugin display.
The auto adding of menu items may have been altered over multiple core updates. At any rate it is resolved and a non-issue.
Thus far the CSS for the navigation has eluded me. How can I get rid f the lines?
Thank you
Hello,
What I meant was what I saidβ there were still over 8,000 comments left behind, and they were all clearly spam. Clearly the criteria your plugin uses is incomplete. The plugin you suggested I use doesn’t touch comments but I was found a plugin called Bulk Delete Commentswhich worked and would have saved me a lot of time had I not been trying to address them as spam.
Problem solved, but I suggest you continue improvements to your plugin. I would mark this as resolved but the check box seems to have been removed.
Thank you
Hi,
I didn’t see your reply, but just updated the plugin. This time when I ran the scan I was able to delete the comments identified as spam. That was great progress.However, out of the 43+k comments there were still over 8,000 left behind, and they are all clearly spam. I have tried manually deleting them but as some of these comments are very long this will be a very slow process if approached screen by screen. How do you explain so many of them overlooked? Is there a next step?
Thank you
Hi,
Just an update⦠In case this was a factor I did a search for malware and removed those files. We have also relocated the website to new hosting with SiteGround, thus a much faster server. Unfortunately both the 3001 millisecond timeout and the failure to delete remain as before. On the bright side, it appears that the plugin is preventing new spam. I am looking forward to your solution.
Thank you
Hi, I reinstalled the plugin and have done the following things:
- Updated the php to 5.6
- Checked for malware and removed it
- Revisited getting the Error logs set up
Several times I have rerun the check and it still does nothing when I ask it to delete the comments. Several times along the way it came up with Ajax errors and asked me to check the javascript on the site. The last time I ran it this did not happen but it was constantly coming up with the popup for the 3001 millisecond timeout. I gave up halfway through and it still won’t delete. I checked the error logs on the server and they are blank.
One thing I have learned is that she is on a very old plan with an old and slow server. I plan to relocate her to Siteground but was hoping to get housekeeping like this done first. I know she paid for the plugin after it looked promising. Is there anything more you can do? This is eating up tons of time and I am getting nowhere.
Thank you
Hi,
I learned that this website was still using php version 5.2.17 and that no server logs had been enabled. To be conservative we upgraded it to 5.4 and enabled the logs so that moving forward there will be something there. Then I tried deleting again and nothing happened. Next I reran the spam check. Now there is no error message, but when I check everything and press the button to delete all it does is to go back to the top of the page. Nothing is deleted.
I don’t have access to the logs yet. Hopefully that will happen in the next few days.
Hi,
I am running into some snags. First, there is a huge block of links to the individual posts. I tried scanning through the to determine if this was for all of the posts or just the ones identified as spam but in the section I reviewed they were all consecutive. I’m not sure if I check the box that says ‘delete all comments’ if it really means all of them, or if this is just for the ones identified as spam.I may have checked all of them, but decided to click the button to delete just the checked ones, and received the following error message:
Ajax error. Process will be automatically restarted in 3 seconds. Status: error (Check comments)
Please, check for JavaScript errors in your dashboard and and repair it.
Total comments 43136. Checked 43136. Found 38935 spam comments. 0 bad comments (without IP or email).I am not sure how to check for javascript errors or how to correct them. What should I do next?
This is a follow-up for the benefit of the forum. I purchased the pro version of the plugin and Rene made the necessary changes to the database. He also made a fresh clone. Lesson learned. Never make a clone the front-facing site!
Thank you again

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Widget dropdown CSSPerfect! Thank you π
This isn’t included in the support request, but it’s an update. I think that doing it the way I did with moving the clone to the primary position is now causing problems where visitors are being presented with the login screen. The plugin was initially deactivated when the move occurred. After that it was reactivated and remembered that it’s a clone and requiring a login. This is not going to be a workable solution!!!
Hi, I will make the support request. If it turns out to be just a matter of making the change in the database that would be great. I checked with SiteGround about their Move Tool and didn’t get much in the way of useful information. Thank you
@wadham, I found that I needed to access the site via CPanel to disable the plugin and login. I run the free Wordfence on all of my client sites and I am frustrated with all of the time lost to what amounts to beta-testing. I am an admin who has the correct password. To the developers, the email which is supposed to be sent to give instructions on how to regain access never arrives.
Please fix this asap!!!!!!!!
